Answer:

0.1%

Explanation:

Humans share 99.9. % of genome with each other but we are still unique when it comes to the remaining 0.1% of genome. Since human genome is made of 3 billion base pairs, 0.1% means that we have 3 million unique base pairs. This portion is used for techniques like DNA profiling. It is used for paternity test and also used to determine the culprit at a crime scene.

Short tandem repeats or STRs are combination of base pairs which are repeated a number of times and they are unique to every individual. STRs fall under 0.1% of unique genome. If STRs in two samples match at the same loci, they belong to the same individual.

Answer:

Your answer would be a autosomal dominant disorder.

____________________________________________________

Definition:

Autosomal Dominant Disorder:

A disorder in which could pass a disease from generations and on. In other words, future generations "inherit" the disease

____________________________________________________

Explanation:

The reason why "autosomal dominant disorder" is the correct answer because when a disease has been going on for many generations, this would be known as an autosomal dominant disorder, or ADD. What this means is that a person could have a mutant gene in them, also having a normal gene that is paired with  autosomal chromosomes. These diseases are inherited from a off spring that could take the disease and pass it on to their off springs, which would go on for generations due to the fact that it is a "dominant" trait. This is similar to the autosomal recessive disorder, but the autosomal recessive disorder needs two mutant genes in them, meaning that there is a less likely chance of getting the disease passed on to the off spring. The autosomal dominant disorder only needs one mutant gene in order to be effective during the inheritance for a offspring.
